After 47 year of being asthma’tic I have had two red light visits to hospital one for inhailed reflux into my lungs and the other for pain in my chest, back and shoulder. Had CT scan on 2nd visit where they found the spots. Is this normal for someone like myself who has been asthmatic for 47 years

White spots on CT scan pulmonary think she said plugs!!!!

A spot on the lungs usually refers to a pulmonary nodule
If your doctor sees a pulmonary nodule on a chest X-ray or CT scan, don’t panic. Pulmonary nodules are common and most are benign or noncancerous

Thanks Simon will be seeing my consultant ASAP and will try to keep things in perspective. Your reply is appreciated
I am 74 and have had Asthma since I was 4 years old. I have permanent Basal crackles and have a shadow on my lungs since 1976. Dont know if this is of help.
Reassuring my asthma started when my son was born I was 22 I’ve never smoked but my mother smoked heavily till she died at 83. So fingers crossed thanks for taking the time to reply appreciated
Update - Had a pet scan then a lung biopsy and no cancer so relieved! Told me it was scaring. But will follow up in 6 months with another CT scan.
My asthma is much improved changed medication to Relvar 184/22 Spiriva Respimat 2.5 and I think it may also be helped by Omalizumab (Xolair injection I get for my urticaria. This has resulted in my peak flow normal of 100 to go up to 320.
